Update:
As of Sunday night, July 6th, all Mac ‘n’ Cheese dishes will be removed from the menu for the rest of Stampede week. This decision comes after overwhelming demand at the booth and the strain it’s putting on both our capacity and consistency.

Our Taco Salad Bowls and Fully Loaded Nachos are selling at nearly three times the pace of last year—an amazing surprise, but one that’s pushed us to our limits with our small team and limited resources.

We’ve been running on about four hours of sleep and serving nonstop for 10-hour days, with never fewer than 10 orders on the go. It’s been great—but in order to keep the quality up and ourselves afloat, we’ve had to make a quick business call.

Thank you so much for the incredible support so far. We hope you’ll swing by this week and try the famous Nachos—they’ve definitely earned their reputation. 🙂

Gerrit & Alexis.
